| Description |
English: The Ballerina was a painting for the 1965 Ice Capades. Petty's work for Ice Capades, appearing as program covers and posters, began in 1942 and continued throughout the decade. After a hiatus during the 1950s, due to creative differences, Petty's Ice Capade girls did not appear again until the early 1960s.
This piece was reproduced on page 173 of The Classic Pin-up Art of George Petty by Reid Stewart Austin, Gramercy Books, 1998, and also as figure 584 of The Great American Pin-Up by Charles G. Martignette and Louis K. Meisel, Taschen, 1996. |
